Sigiri Wild Lake Dambulla

The owner was making innapropriate comments. Would not recommend as a female traveller. He told me he had a wife and children but I think he lied. He sits all the time scrolling with high volume so there's no peace to get though the place is beautiful. Then every night he gets drunk on the property with his friends or alone. Also I payed him via bank, but since the money wouldn't arrive before a few days and he had to pay for some safari, he forced me to take out money and promised to send it once he got it. It's been more than a month now and he keeps saying he will send it soon and ignoring me.

Super nice place lake view. The owner is super friendly. Good food. The room is big and with all the necessary. You need a motorcycle but I love this location.

I loved the property, everything about it! The room was nice and spacious and clean, the shower was wonderful. I love the area that it’s quiet and not too far from anything but far enough that you get so much peace of mind. The room is in front of a pink lotus pond and also a beautiful lake. I stayed in Sri Lanka for 5 months and this place is the place that made me feel so peaceful and at home. The perfect place to be. I really can’t tell you enough how perfect it is if. There’s a tree house to chill in and a garden to chill or workout in. The family who run it are amazing and i miss this place every day! There’s a kitchen you can cook in also. It’s overall beautiful and fantastic. Thank you. Dilan is amazing and so helpful, nothing is too much. A really amazing experience.

I loved everything

Dilan was an amazing host. The place is in the middle of the nature and its extremely peaceful, you wake up with bird sounds. We stayed 1 month because we loved it so much

Very comfortable and cozy cabin-room with a beautiful(!) lake view. The host is very friendly and makes you feel like home and very relaxed, he has great tips for the area. Quiet location in nature/village, swimming spot close-by.

Dilan who runs this accommodation is a really great guy. Do you want to experience real Sri Lankan life? Go there! Beautiful nature, great people and experiences. Definitely worth at least one night. Thank you very much for all the advice and tips regarding my itinerary :)

Dilan hasn't been running the accommodation for very long, so it has its flaws (maybe air conditioning would be nice), but on the other hand, it wouldn't be such an intense experience, right?

Lovely room with outlook to a beautiful lake. Lots of birds and chipmunks. And there's a nice outdoor seating area. Host was amazing. Even went into town when we asked for something he didn't stock.

Just a little table in the room would have been nice

The room was fine, big, with a balcony. Lovely lakefront with birds. Great morning chorus. The room could be better equipped, no towel rack no clothes rack or chair. No fridge available. The owner provided an electric jug on request. Quiet location.

A pile of mattresses in the room served as a table.

Beautifull part of nature, where you can absorb animals and flowers, from a comfortable spot, infront of a lake or from tree house. Calm, chill place.

;)

Be aware that there is no Concrete road, poaaible to go by car but May be muddy and difficult when raining. Nice view at the pond and lake, isolated in nature.

All ok

This place invites you to relax, do yoga and watch birds. I enjoyed the tranquillity very much. The room was clean the food very tasty.

beautiful place and quiet not far from town. nice room with a beautiful view!

Amazing location right in the wildlife, Dilan was a fantastic host really welcoming and caring showed me the local area and offered great activities. The elephant safari was exceptional. The food and meals given were fantastic really tasty didn’t go hungry ever. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Great food,very friendly hosts and an amazing atmosphere close to the lake. Absolutely quiet, no traffic, just nature.

Nice area

Breakfast was Sri Lanka style, they didnt give me other option. Some locals were doing a bit of party at night in the property, but they were quiet luckily.

Their behavior and hospitality.

A amarzing location which is fulfilled with nature. Nice view with the lake.wow. delicious foods and friendly staff. Nice rooms and bathrooms which are clear and attractive. Highly recommended place.

Welcome juice, natural surroundings.

This place is far from its potential. It could be a simple 5 stars if some major points would get improved and as the other reviews seems as made by friends I want to compensate for that and show that you should be aware of some important things that made your stay here challenging. First, the owner was not present both of the days I stayed here, this and the thing that the wifi did not work made my stay very challenging  I had to go to a lovely neighbour who saved me in helping me with my basic needs - check in. The host even promised me that he would be present and that the wife would work. That did not happened so the reability of the host is questionable. Also, he trier to lie to me when I raised the issue with not working wifi. He said his phone was available with an open hotspot, which was a lie as it was available only during his presence, which was very brief time in the evening - after There were other negative things as a bedsheet is not a blanket and it is not enough for to sleep in the tree house, at least for me, I felt cold, but to be fare there were also some positives as a welcome drink from the soursop from the garden. But to me, to have a realiable host that is trustful and welcoming is way too important to be a successful place to stay.

Very kind poeple , Dylan and his father are really helpfull, massive breakfast, you can rent moto bike 500m from there, really quiet at night, can do cheap tour really cheap with boat , food , amazing experience

We had a very Nice time at Sigiri wild lake. The situation is just incredible : on front of a lake with à private garden. Dylan, the owner, is so kind and carefull and cook for us à fantastic meal. He organise for us à safari to see the wild éléphant. It was amaizing

This place is village type guest house and rooms are faced to a lakeside. Owner is very friendly and very helpful. We spend a night and it was awesome. Definitely worth it. 👌

nice place to stay in lake view
